Everyday lately I seem to find something else going haywire on the vette, wonder if it has to do with the fact that she is garaged pretty much 24/7 these days. So I just noticed a fairly long crack in the wall of the tire, no idea when or how that happened is there a repair kit for cracks in the wall? do I have to replace the whole darn thing? It's approx 3in long and about 1/8in deep (I'm not the best at "eyeing" measurements but I think i'm pretty close)

Anything in the sidewall of the tire needs to be replaced, you cannot nor would you want to plug the sidewall of a tire.

:iagree: sounds like a new tire for sure....

Sounds like you are running on old and unsafe tires. If one has cracked like that how are the others?

Glad to hear that. Sounds like time for a little tire warranty. :thumbsup3:

Don't feel too bad, you are not alone! My 87 vette had been sitting for over a year in total due to my having surgery and now that I'm trying to get her up and running something new keeps popping up with her as well. Some just get the luck of the draw when it comes to perfect performance, and some of us just do not. :cheers:

Better get used to it! :ack2: Keep your wallet open and ready, cause it gets emptied into your vette constantly! They didn't put that on the sticker when you bought it did they!! :rofl: :banghead:
